Chapter 6 Changes in Zhu Biao

Zhu Biao, who had read a book all night, walked out of the study. It's still daylight.

Although he read the book all night, Zhu Biao was still in high spirits.

He said hello to Princess Anqing and was about to leave. Suddenly, I saw a figure flash by the side. He said indifferently: "What are you hiding, come here?" ”

Sure enough, a half-grown child cautiously came out from the side. said, "Father." ”

It's none other than Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Biao is actually quite good to his sons. However, there is some estrangement between him and Zhu Xiongying. Not because of anything else. It is because Zhu Xiongying is raised under the knees of Queen Ma. Zhu Biao saw less. In addition, the Lu family is in Zhu Biao's ears.

After a long time, there was a layer between him and Zhu Xiongying.

That's what people are. Only when there is enough companionship can there be enough affection. This is true even for parents and close relatives.

But this moment is different.

Zhu Biao knew that Zhu Xiongying was pulled over from the Ghost Gate by He Xi and Dai Yuanli. In the original history, the child was no longer there. I also know the stupid things that Zhu Yunwen did in history. I understood my father's love for Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying is his heir. If he can get on the throne. Then the third generation of the Ming Dynasty must be Zhu Xiongying, not Zhu Yunwen.

Even Zhu Biao thought about another possibility. He secretly said in his heart: "My son, I can't satisfy his old man, is he a good saint." Perhaps, it is also the grandson of the emperor. ”

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying for a long time.

Zhu Xiongying trembled under his father's gaze and said; "Father is not right with me, I shouldn't have come to my aunt's house to play, I shouldn't have come to get my little cousin's toys. I shouldn't have ------"

Zhu Biao said: "He Yuansi? Don't you have what he has? ”

Zhu Xiongying said: "There really isn't. My uncle got a lot of fun stuff for my little cousin, and there was a winding train. There are music boxes. There are also the ship models of big ships, many, many of them. ”

Zhu Xiongying said this, like a few treasures, and his eyes sparkled.

Although He Xi was not in Nanjing and did not accompany his son, he loved his son a lot. Got a lot of toys for my son. A lot of things can't be mass-produced. But in the entire Ming Dynasty, almost all skilled craftsmen are under He Xi. Through the wonderful hands of these skilled tools.

I got a lot of little clockwork driven toys for the kids.

They are all treasures and gems. There is no one in the palace either.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying and remembered He Xi's everything. He's actually figured it out. The policies pursued by He Xi. It must have been approved of by my father. He couldn't stop it. Let the child get closer to He Xi, it will be good for him in the future.

didn't blame Zhu Xiongying, and said, "Go ahead." I'll say hello to the Faculty of Engineering and make one for you. Don't snatch toys from small children. ”

"Really." Zhu Xiongying almost jumped up.

Zhu Biao said: "Really. If you have anything in the future, come to me, and I will make your decisions in the future. ”

Zhu Xiongying said happily; "Thank you, Father."

Zhu Biao smiled at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

Zhu Xiongying only feels that today's father is different from the past. As for how it is different. But I can't tell. As soon as he took two steps, he heard Zhu Biao say, "Wait." ”

Zhu Xiongying secretly said in his heart: "I'll just say it, a punishment is indispensable." ”

Immediately turned around in frustration, waiting to be scolded.

But he felt a weight on his head, but it was Zhu Biao who stroked his head and said, "Do things well in the future." Don't let me, and don't let your imperial grandfather down. You know? ”

This Zhu Xiongying nodded inexplicably.

Zhu Biao said: "Let's go play." ”

This time, I really let Zhu Xiongying play. He was not called back again.

------

When the prince returned to the palace, he didn't have time to rest. After cleaning up a little, I went to the Qianqing Palace.

After all, the crown prince is almost the prime minister and takes on a lot of chores. The day is gone. There's a lot of stuff piling up. Not to mention. He has a lot of things to report directly to Zhu Yuanzhang. There is no room for delay.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the prince and sent the people around him away. Said; "You know it all."

The prince immediately knelt down and said, "The son of the minister snooped on the secrets of the Great Interior, and he deserved death." I also asked my father to punish him. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You are my son, there is nothing you can't understand." I don't think the timing is right, though. You already know that, though. I'm not going to say anything. I've got some manuscripts here for you to take and see. Behind this shelf, there is a secret room. Take down the Four Books and Five Classics on the shelf. The door will be opened. There are many books in it that have been recorded or annotated by me. You can go and see it. Wait until you're done. A lot of things are understood. ”

"But there's one thing you need to be clear."

"The future is just a reference. It is better to believe in a book than to have no book at all. ”

The prince said, "Erchen understands. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "By the way, how about the things I asked you to do?" ”

The prince said, "It's done." Then he presented a note.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some surprise: "This is your approval?" ”

The prince presented nothing else. It was about the verdict that Kiyojo caused a series of messes. The prince completely based on Zhu Yuanzhang's previous statement, and even implicated many people in these hundreds of strictness. It's a complete one hundred and eighty degree turn.

Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.

The prince said: "Erchen thinks that these people are eating the court's money, but they are too deeply connected with the family. My father said very well, and he should set an example. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the prince like this, and he was not happy in his heart. On the contrary, there is some sadness.

Although there are some contradictions and differences between Zhu Yuanzhang and the crown prince. But under normal circumstances, the prince still dares to tell the truth to Zhu Yuanzhang. But now, there seems to be an invisible wall between father and son, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel a sense of suffocation.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said; "The matter of the fourth child, don't worry, I have been changing, the court has not been rich in recent years, so I have crowned a few kings. In the next ten years, your adult brother will be sent away before I breathe. This world is in your vein. I've never thought of anything else. ”

The crown prince said: "Why did my father say this? The child does not dare to have too many extravagant hopes, if the father really dislikes the child, the child is also willing to ask for the country to be sealed overseas. If the father does not abandon the child, the child will not dare to take on the great responsibility of the world. ”

The prince actually didn't believe what Zhu Yuanzhang said too much.

The night was long. It's also short.

The prince has not sorted out many things. It's just that he already has what he wants to do. It's not for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. It's about keeping the interests you deserve. But how? He hasn't figured it out yet. At least two things to do in front.

First, take care of your body. Second, stop arguing with your father on state affairs, the world is mine, and it matters whether it is good or bad. The world is not in my vein, what do I care so much about? The world is mine, and there will be a chance to set things right in the future. The world is not mine. It doesn't matter what it looks like.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt some bitterness in his mouth and said, "Okay, let's go and do things." ”

"Yes." The crown prince sat in his place and began to take care of his official business.

Zhu Yuanzhang casually wrote a letter of edict, asking Princess Anqing to take the child and go to Liaodong immediately. Don't stop in Nanjing, you can go to Songjiang or Ningbo and other ships for the coming year, and send the confidential files at home to the palace.

Princess Anqing and Princess Anqing had no problems with modern books in their hands before.

But now it's different.

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to sift through these books before letting the prince read them. And Princess Anqing can't do such a thing. So I sent Princess Anqing to Liaodong. It's a matter of time anyway.

It's just that Princess Anqing had to travel at the end of the twentieth year of Hongwu. Fortunately, the winter in Jiangnan is not too cold. Wait in Ningbo until the spring of the next year, and then take a boat to the north.

The prince obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's decision-making. For a time, father and son worked together, and it seemed that they wanted to continue to push forward the reform of the Damingtian system. Qingzhang acres is just the beginning. Zhu Yuanzhang is ready to launch the preferential exemption policy for officials today. That is, the tax exemption for students.

It's not hard to move this now. After all, the current students don't have that much power. A lot of messy things. It hasn't happened yet. There are fewer stakes involved. But this one is connected to the Ming Dynasty. It is a kind of compensation for the low income.

Therefore, it is necessary to move the system of official salaries. Things are also very troublesome.
